Top Docs
Castle Connolly just released their latest edition of America’s Top Doctors, and our Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Feder were included again! For those that don’t know, Castle Connolly seeks to unite patients with the most qualified and respected doctors in the country through a series of national and regional guidebooks. Physicians are nominated by their peers and vetted by a dedicated, physician run research staff. This recognition puts Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Feder in the top tier among their colleagues. Congratulations gentlemen!

Flex Spending
It’s nearing the end of the year, and employee benefits enrollment season is almost here. If your employer offers it, now is the time to start thinking about Flex Spending. Flex Spending is money taken out of your paycheck before taxes and set aside in a fund specifically designated for medical expenses. Generally, you can use this money for any such expenses, even elective procedures like LASIK. Typically the fund goes into effect after the turn of the year and does not roll over year to year, so timing is everything. For example, sometimes a patient with leftover Flex dollars at the end of the year will get LASIK in one eye in December and the other in January, after the next year’s Flex Spending account becomes available. Ask your human resources department for more information about how Flex Spending works at your company.

NASA
The Custom Intralase procedure recently got the stamp of approval from NASA, according to a recent press release from Advanced Medical Optics, Inc (AMO). About 50 percent of people who are turned down as astronaut candidates are disqualified because of poor vision. Now, after reviewing the results of Department of Defense studies, NASA has opened up new opportunities for these potential astronauts by accepting what we at the Northwestern Vision Correction Associates already knew: that LASIK with the Custom Wavefront and Intralase technologies is a safe and effective method of correcting refractive errors. For more information, check out NASA’s website, or read the AMO press release here.
